Stem Mastering

Our Stem Mastering service includes Stereo Mastering but also allows the mastering engineer additional scope to enhance and optimize any specific set of instruments within a mix such as drums, bass, sub bass, lead synth 1, lead synth 2, effects sweeps etc., and the summing of stems.

Stem Mastering —not to be confused with Mixing— can produce improved sonic results and increased depth and dimension to your master by allowing the mastering engineer to target the use of eq, dynamic adjustment and other forms of processing to the individual stems.

Mixing, on the other hand, involves more man hours and balances individual multi-track recordings and possibly use of automation, equalization, dynamic control and effects processing.

We are one of the few mastering studios in the world that offers production mastering!

You send us a full project file or stems along with midi data (or both) and we will take your track to the next level.

We can design bigger synths, punchier drums and harder hitting bass sounds. Production mastering is not ghost writing, it’s simply taking a song you have written and having a seasoned electronic dance music producer re-work the sounds that need help.

We replace everything that needs work including drums, bass, synths and fx.

Preparation:

This type of mastering requires a good amount of communication. When you send us your files, please include a message of what you want done to the track and the feeling you are going for. Be sure to include links to songs you want to be comparable with.

Files should be WAV stems along with MIDI data for the sounds you want produced. You can also attach a collected project file if your song is in one of our preffered DAWs*.

A credit is equal to one stereo master. Two credits are equal to a stem master. Three credits are equal to a 32 channel master. Four credits are equal to an unlimited channel mix-down.
Do credits roll over to the next month?

Yes! As long as you are subscibed, your credits are good and will keep building up until you use them.
